Carol, I’ve just followed your blog as of today, as I have been wanting to learn to write poetry and another blog friend gave me the link to your guest post today about learning to write poetry. I do love your writing. I’ve been reading some of your Haiku poetry and have a question. Is there a rule as to the number of words per line? Many of yours differ. I’ve seen 3-5-4 etc., but hey seem to differ. I will do as your recommend in your Guest Post and read more poetry as well as get away from the computer more and experience life a little more.thanks!
I use the 5-7-5 syllable rule for haiku poetry. It’s a more traditional form.
I’m glad you liked the post and it’s lovely to hear someone recommended my blog. May I ask who it was?
It certainly feels that way at times!
Indeed.
Too true. We fail to see the forest for the trees. Sort of.

Thank you, I do like your poetry a lot. Michael, at summerstommy2.com referred me.
Really? I haven’t heard from him in ages, is lovely to hear he refereed someone to my poetry.
I guess another sign people continue to follow and admire when we aren’t aware 😊
